Pathway to Practice
A Clarity Mental Health Collective Mentorship Program
For anyone considering becoming a therapist and wanting honest, real-world guidance before moving forward.
A landing place for undergraduate students, recent grads, and career changers considering or preparing for a career in mental health. Gain clarity, perspective, and real-world guidance to confidently navigate your path to becoming a clinician.
I get it— I was there too.
I remember wondering: Should I become a therapist? Is this the right path? Am I cut out for this? What do I actually do next? There’s so much noise in this field and not nearly enough honest, practical guidance.
I created this mentorship space to offer the guidance and support I wish I had. A place where you can ask questions, talk through your options, and get honest insight from someone who’s navigated grad school, licensure, and the early career decisions firsthand. Whether you’re navigating grad school, deciding whether therapy might be the career for you, or just need someone in your corner throughout the process, this space is for you.
Pathway to Practice is collaborative, real, and grounded in lived experience. No fluff, no pressure— just support, perspective, and a plan that actually makes sense for you.
Pathway to Practice Offerings
If you’re considering a career in mental health, feeling curious about becoming a therapist, navigating grad school, or stuck in the “should I/shouldn’t I?” spiral — you’re not behind, and you’re not doing it wrong. This field can feel confusing, gatekeepy, and tough to get clear information about, especially when you’re still in school or just starting to explore your options.
I remember wishing I could sit down with someone who would just tell me how this actually works — the good, the hard, the unexpected— without sugarcoating it or pushing me in one direction. This mentorship offering exists to be that space: honest, supportive, and tailored to you.
Whether you’re early in exploration or feeling ready to take next steps, mentorship is about clarity, confidence, and having someone in your corner as you make decisions.
